Zog I gold Prova 100 Franga Ari 1928-R MS66 NGC, Rome mint, KM-Pr37, Fr-9, Pag-789. 32.25gm. Mintage: 50. By G. Romagnoli. Bare Head, With Wreath variety. Far and away conditionally superior for this scarce, low-mintage Prova issue, and the only example certified above MS63 at NGC, with none meeting even that level at PCGS. Shimmering golden luster sweeps the fields upon rotation, washing over bold features and revealing not a single meaningful instance of handling to deter the eye. As a type, and considering the very low production figures, unlikely to be found finer than this. A true gem, and the ideal type coin.
Ex. Numismatica Genevensis Auction 2 (November 2002, Lot 254)
